The State of Origin series is an annual best-of-three rugby league series between two Australian state representative sides, the New South Wales Blues and the Queensland Maroons. Referred to as Australian sport's greatest rivalry, the State of Origin series is one of Australia's premier sporting events, attracting huge television audiences and usually selling out the stadiums in which the games are played. It is regularly described as being the pinnacle of rugby league, even in comparison with international competitions. Players are selected to represent the Australian state in which they played their first senior rugby league game. Before 1980 players were only selected for interstate matches based on where they were playing their club football at the time. In both 1980 and 1981, there were two interstate matches under the old selection rules and one experimental "State of Origin" match. From 1982 onwards a best-of-three match series has been played around the middle of the rugby league season for the State of Origin shield. During the early years the overall series results remained relatively even, however, Queensland surged ahead between 2006 and 2017, winning 11 out of 12 series, including a record eight series in a row.

The Chinese economic reform or reform and opening-up; known in the West as the Opening of China is the program of economic reforms termed "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" and "socialist market economy" in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Led by paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, often credited as the "General Architect", the reforms were launched by reformists within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on December 18, 1978 during the "Boluan Fanzheng" period. The reforms went into stagnation after the military crackdown on 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, but were revived after Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour in 1992. In 2010, China overtook Japan as the world's second-largest economy.

Coal, cars and cows vent almost half of Turkey's five hundred million tonnes annual greenhouse gas emissions, which are mostly carbon dioxide (CO2) with some methane. Coal mainly consists of carbon, which burns by combining with oxygen in the air to form CO2. Most coal is burnt in the nation's coal-fired power stations, and the CO2 rises into the atmosphere from their chimneys. Cars and trucks also exhaust CO2 (along with unhealthy local air pollution) from burning gasoline and diesel. The third most polluting fossil fuel, after coal and these oil products, is fossil gas burnt in the country's gas-fired power stations, homes and workplaces. The CO2 from all these fuels can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, trapping heat and so causing climate change in Turkey and worldwide.

In Greek mythology, Thanatos (; Ancient Greek: Θάνατος, pronounced in Ancient Greek: [tʰánatos] "Death", from θνῄσκω thnēskō "(I) die, am dying") was the personification of death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his equivalent in Roman mythology is Mors or Letum. Mors is sometimes erroneously identified with Orcus, whose Greek equivalent was Horkos, God of the Oath.

The CO2 from all these fuels can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, trapping heat and so causing climate change in Turkey and worldwide. Cows are ruminants, which means the plants they eat are fermented by microbes in a specialised stomach before digestion. This fermentation produces methane, which the cows mostly belch into the air. Atmospheric methane from cows and other sources is mostly broken down by hydroxyl radicals in the air within a couple of decades, but whilst it is there it is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2. Cows are also subsidised, but the biggest driver of Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions (GhG) is subsidies for coal-fired power stations and the lack of a price on carbon pollution. Turkey's share of ongoing global GhG emissions is about 1%, and per person emissions are six tonnes a year, which is around the global average. Turkey re-absorbs about a fifth of its GhG, mostly in its trees. The government supports reforestation, electric vehicle manufacturing and low-carbon nationally generated electricity. However, like neighbouring Iran, Turkey is one of the very few countries which has not ratified the Paris Agreement.

Its defining characteristics include: more diverse and user-determined gaming hardware and software; and generally greater capacity in input, processing, video and audio output. The uncoordinated nature of the PC game market, and now its lack of physical media, make precisely assessing its size difficult. In 2018, the global PC games market was valued at about $27.7 billion.

The uncoordinated nature of the PC game market, and now its lack of physical media, make precisely assessing its size difficult. In 2018, the global PC games market was valued at about $27.7 billion. Home computer games became popular following the video game crash of 1983, leading to the era of the "bedroom coder". In the 1990s, PC games lost mass-market traction to console games, before enjoying a resurgence in the mid-2000s through digital distribution. reports that the PC gaming sector is the third-largest category (and estimated in decline) across all platforms as of 2016, with the console sector second-largest, and mobile / smartphone gaming sector biggest. 2.2 billion video gamers generate US$101.1 billion in revenue, excluding hardware costs. "Digital game revenues will account for $94.4 billion or 87% of the global market. Mobile is the most lucrative segment, with smartphone and tablet gaming growing 19% year on year to $46.1 billion, claiming 42% of the market. In 2020, mobile gaming will represent just more than half of the total games market. [...] China expected to generate $27.5 billion, or one-quarter of all revenues in 2017." PC gaming is considered synonymous (by Newzoo and others) with IBM Personal Computer compatible systems; while mobile computers – smartphones and tablets, such as those running Android or iOS – are also personal computers in the general sense. The APAC region was estimated to generate $46.6 billion in 2016, or 47% of total global video game revenues (note, not only "PC" games). China alone accounts for half of APAC's revenues (at $24.4 billion), cementing its place as the largest video game market in the world, ahead of the US's anticipated market size of $23.5 billion. China is expected to have 53% of its video game revenues come from mobile gaming in 2017 (46% in 2016).

Bad is the seventh studio album by American singer and songwriter Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, by Epic Records, nearly five years after Jackson's previous album, Thriller (1982). Written and recorded in nearly a year, Bad was the third and final collaboration between Jackson and producer Quincy Jones, with Jackson co-producing and composing all but two tracks. With Bad, Jackson departed from his signature groove-based style and high-pitched vocals. The album's edgier sound incorporates pop, rock, funk, R&B, dance, soul, and hard rock styles. Jackson also experimented with newer recording technology, including digital synthesizers and drum machines, resulting in a sleeker and more aggressive sound. Lyrical themes on the album include media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement, and world peace. The album features appearances from Siedah Garrett and Stevie Wonder. One of the most anticipated albums of its time, Bad debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart, selling over 2 million copies in its first week in the US. The album also reached number one in 24 other countries, including the UK, where it sold 500,000 copies in its first five days and became the country's best-selling album of 1987. Nine songs were released as official singles, and one as a promotional single. Seven charted in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, including a record-breaking five number ones: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror" and "Dirty Diana". The album was the best-selling worldwide of 1987 and 1988 and by 1991 it was the second-bestselling album of all time at the time, behind Thriller, having sold 25 million copies worldwide. The album was promoted with the film, Moonwalker (1988), which included the music videos of songs from the album, including "Speed Demon", "Leave Me Alone", "Man in the Mirror" and "Smooth Criminal". The film became the best-selling home video of all time. The Bad tour, which was Jackson's first solo world tour, grossed $125 million (equivalent to more than $291 million in 2021) making it the highest-grossing solo concert tour of the 1980s. Jackson performed 123 concerts in 15 countries to an audience of 4.4 million including a record seven sold-out shows at Wembley Stadium. It was also Jackson's last tour where he performed in the United States. With sales of over 35 million copies sold worldwide, Bad is one of the most commercially successful albums of all time. In 2017, it was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album has been named by several publications as one of the greatest albums of all time. It was nominated for six Grammy Awards, winning Best Engineered Recording – Non Classical and Best Music Video (for "Leave Me Alone"). In 1988, Jackson received the first Billboard Spotlight Award, in recognition of the record-breaking chart success on the Billboard Hot 100. For his Bad videos and previous videos throughout the 1980s, Jackson received the MTV Video Vanguard Award. To celebrate its 25th anniversary, the documentary film, Bad 25 (2012), was released on August 31, 2012. A 25th anniversary album, Bad 25 (2012), was also released on September 18, 2012.

André Vansteenberghe (16 April 1906 - 6 November 1984) was a general medical practitioner and a leading member of the French Resistance in southern France during World War II. He was born in Orléans. His father was a clerk in the local tobacco factory. He worked as a medical student in hospitals in Lyon in 1926, followed by a period as an intern in Saint Étienne in 1929, returning to Lyon as an intern that year until he obtained his doctorate from la faculté de médecine de Lyon in November 1932. During his studies he had met Alice Joly - a fellow medical student on his course - and they married at Lyon town hall on 21 October, 1929. In December 1932, they moved into a first-floor flat on 3 avenue Aristide-Briand, Villeurbanne, where they had separate offices in a home-based general practice. He offered free municipal medical care in Villeurbanne and lectured in hygiene at the local university. He and his wife joined the communist party and he became a freemason in the "Tolerance and Cordiality Lodge". From 1938, he worked as a medical inspector for schools before being called up in 1940 as a medical officer in the French 6th Army; his wife replaced him in his inspector role. He returned as a school inspector after being wounded. His communist party membership led to his and his wife's dismissal in July 1941 under a new Vichy regime law. In July 1940, they joined the French resistance. Under the guidance of Jean-Pierre Lévy, they produced Le Franc-Tireur, an underground newspaper. fr:Claudius Billon recruited them into the resistance army. They were were twice denounced to the medical authorities by the mayor of Villeurbanne for suspected anti-Vichy activities. They exchanged secret messages with London and received materials dropped from British aircraft by parachute; his code-name was "Michel" and his wife's was "Geneviève Prunier". Resistance leaders Henry Frenay, fr:Yvon Morandat, fr:Antoine Avinin and Jean Moulin - the latter sent by Charles de Gaulle in London - visited their home. The Vansteenberghes treated wounded resistance fighters and faked medical proof to help men avoid recruitment as compulsory labour in Germany. In 1943, they joined the Gallia-RPA network. French police raided their home in September and questioned them but they were released. On 24 April 1944, the Gestapo raided it again, looking for Jewish refugees, but Vansteenberghe had been warned by his daughter and stepfather that the Gestapo were drinking in the café below, giving him time to move his weapons and archives from his home to his secretary's. He and his wife hid with the Resistance in Beaujolais before continuing activity from a different flat in Lyon. Because of Nazi successes against Resistance leaders, Vansteenberghe was promoted to regional head of the RPA network on 4 August 1944 and his wife became the medical chief. She was captured on the street the following day, detained and tortured in Montluc prison under the direction of the local Gestapo chief, Klaus Barbie. She was freed with the other prisoners on 24 August 1944 without having provided any names but disabled for life. Vansteenberghe interrogated Nazi collaborators in the La Part-Dieu barracks and searched premises formerly occupied by the Nazis. He found that their flat had been looted. They continued with their medical practice after the war.

The Uruguay–Argentina–Chile–Paraguay 2030 FIFA World Cup bid is an intended joint bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup by Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay and Chile. The tournament's name would be Southern Cone 2030 World Cup. The intended bid had initially been shared between only Uruguay and Argentina. The intended bid followed an earlier web movement claiming that FIFA should give Uruguay hosting rights for the 100th anniversary of the first World Cup, which was held in Uruguay. Argentina has interest as their national team played the final, which resulted in a defeat against the host team. The Uruguay–Argentina intention to bid was officially confirmed on 29 July 2017 before Paraguay was confirmed as the third host on 4 October 2017. Chile confirmed their bid to host with the group on 14 February 2019 as a joint communique from the confirmed nations. Peru is also rumoured to be interested in hosting. Bolivia asked to join the South American bid.

The Chinese economic reform or reform and opening-up; known in the West as the Opening of China is the program of economic reforms termed "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" and "socialist market economy" in the People's Republic of China (PRC). Led by paramount leader Deng Xiaoping, often credited as the "General Architect", the reforms were launched by reformists within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on December 18, 1978 during the "Boluan Fanzheng" period. The reforms went into stagnation after the military crackdown on 1989 Tiananmen Square protests, but were revived after Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour in 1992. In 2010, China overtook Japan as the world's second-largest economy. Before the reforms, the Chinese economy was dominated by state ownership and central planning. From 1950 to 1973, Chinese real GDP per capita grew at a rate of 2.9% per year on average, albeit with major fluctuations stemming from the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. This placed it near the middle of the Asian nations during the same period, with neighboring capitalist countries such as Japan, South Korea and rival Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China outstripping the PRC's rate of growth. Starting in 1970, the economy entered into a period of stagnation, and after the death of CCP Chairman Mao Zedong, the Communist Party leadership turned to market-oriented reforms to salvage the failing economy. The Communist Party authorities carried out the market reforms in two stages. The first stage, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, involved the de-collectivization of agriculture, the opening up of the country to foreign investment, and permission for entrepreneurs to start businesses. However, a large percentage of industries remained state-owned. The second stage of reform, in the late 1980s and 1990s, involved the privatization and contracting out of much state-owned industry. The 1985 lifting of price controls was a major reform, and the lifting of protectionist policies and regulations soon followed, although state monopolies in sectors such as banking and petroleum remained. In 2001, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO). The private sector grew remarkably, accounting for as much as 70 percent of China's gross domestic product by 2005. From 1978 until 2013, unprecedented growth occurred, with the economy increasing by 9.5% a year. The conservative Hu Jintao's administration regulated and controlled the economy more heavily after 2005, reversing some reforms. On the other hand, a parallel set of political reforms were launched by Deng in 1980, but eventually ended in 1989 due to the Tiananmen Square protests. The success of China's economic policies and the manner of their implementation resulted in immense changes in Chinese society in the last 40 years, including greatly decreased poverty while both average incomes and income inequality have increased, leading to a backlash led by the New Left. In the academic scene, scholars have debated the reason for the success of the Chinese "dual-track" economy, and have compared it to attempts to reform socialism in the Eastern Bloc and the Soviet Union; as well as to the growth of other developing economies. Additionally, these series of reforms have led to China's rise as a world power and a shift of international geopolitical interests in favour of it over Taiwan. However, corruption, real estate bubble, pollution and population crisis are among the most serious development issues. In addition, manipulation of economic data by the Chinese government, such as reporting inflated GDP figures and other fake figures, is also a major concern. The reform era has been said to end during the leadership of current CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping, who generally opposes the reforms and has rolled back many of the Deng-era reforms as the Communist Party reasserts control over different aspects of Chinese society, including the economy. In 2018, sinologist Minxin Pei argued that the Chinese economy is currently the least open since the reform era began in the 1980s. This de-liberalization is seen by one Hong Kong commentator as part of the subject of the present US–China trade war, in which the United States alleges the Chinese government is giving unfair and discriminatory competitive advantages to Chinese state-owned and private companies.
